5 bed semi-detached house for sale

Highmore Road, Blackheath, London SE3

A substantial and characterful five-bedroom Edwardian semi-detached home, built in 1912 and set on one of Blackheath’s most desirable roads just moments from Greenwich Park and offered to the market chain free.

This elegant home spans 2,277 sq ft of generous and versatile accommodation arranged over three floors, retaining many original period features and offering excellent scope for modernisation and extension (STPP).

The ground floor opens into a striking reception hall with original detailing, solid wood flooring and bespoke shelving. To the front is a bright reception room with bay window and period fireplace, while to the rear is a second, equally charming reception room overlooking the garden. A separate WC and a large kitchen/breakfast room complete the ground floor. The kitchen is functional but dated, and enjoys direct access via French doors onto a beautifully mature 75ft garden, laid to lawn with shrubs, trees, and a garden shed.
On the first floor are four well-proportioned double bedrooms including a generous master along with a family bathroom. The top floor provides a large fifth double bedroom with eaves storage and an additional shower room, perfect as a guest suite or teenager’s retreat. We believe there is potential for off-street parking subject to approval for a dropped kerb.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a handsome Edwardian home full of character, with wonderful proportions, a generous garden, and superb potential to create a truly exceptional family home. There is no chain.
